There's no way they put *two* B1G teams in. They might, MIGHT also balk at two SEC teams, but yeah like you said the money is just too attractive with those two teams.

Recent history they are all long, painful slogs. Just how Iowa likes them!

Yeah, whether or not Iowa wins, it's most likely going to be a really frustrating and fatiguing watch.

Here's future Iowa in the title game:

I've been thinking more about that Michigan win, and I think I've had a complete 180 on my attitude regarding Harbaugh. I had pretty much always viewed him as a blowhard, who constantly overpromised and underdelivered. I saw him through a cynical eye, believing his messaging was all about pumping up his reputation at the cost of his athletes and school. Between last year and this year, I think he had an epiphany or gained a little more humility or something. He took a contract that was definitely tilted more toward the university than himself what with around $3M cut from his projected salary pre-renewal. (If I recall he was projected to earn $7.5M until 2020 kind derailed him)

But after seeing his behavior during and after the game, I realized he loves his athletes and he loves that school. He crafted a plan that was almost perfect and then his kids executed it, and you can't get a team to pull together like that unless they love you back. And you know what, they've mostly been building toward this perfect moment the whole season. This isn't the best team in terms of raw talent compared to other years, but he built the best team you can get with the talent they have.

I guess I'm saying I no longer hate the dude like I used to. I mean as a rival team, I'll be rooting against them whenever they play Iowa, but I won't be mad if they win just sad Iowa loses (if they do). And if they do end up in the playoffs, I'll be pulling for them as representatives of the B1G. And it kind of feels good to no longer carry this low-grade antipathy toward him.

But tOSU? gently caress them with a rusty pole forever.

First off, I didn't even know Madden was still alive.

Second, he ain't wrong. The Wolverines perpetrated a bloodbath in the 2nd half. Every possession led to a score.

I don't blame him. He's probably making way more than he'd get in the NFL and he doesn't have to deal with the bullshit of professional athlete egos and general front office fuckery.

I'm pointing out how you are weirdly aggro about OU. I've been lurking and posting off-and-on in these threads for 15 years, and I remember things.

This the dumbest thing. You're just pissed because it's the team you happen to like. And that's ok, but to try to traffic cop the thread and claim you're the reasonable one is nuts.

We're college football fans. Of COURSE we're weirdly aggro about certain teams. For instance, I'll forever bait PSU about Sandusky and how they shouldn't even have a football program because of pedo enablement.

It's hard not to get defensive when something bad happens like you lose to Kansas at home or your coach absconds to California in the middle of the night with half your coaching staff and all your good recruits and then the college football Eye of Sauron turns on your team

Sure, and I get that. But trying to King Canute the rising tide of shitposts is perhaps not the right reaction.

If we have all chalk except for Iowa pulling the upset - and I think that's possible - we get this:

pre:
1. Georgia		13-0	6.0988
2. Cincinnati		13-0	4.9143
3. Oklahoma State	12-1	4.6914
4. Iowa			11-2	4.5290

5. Alabama		11-2	4.4002
6. Ohio State		10-2	4.3762
7. Notre Dame		11-1	4.2469
And now we have pandemonium. Outside Georgia you have two P5 champions with legitimate claims (one with two losses though), the biggest brand in college football with one loss, two other major brands at two losses, and a G5. Who (besides Cincy) gets left out?

This dude WAS a personal injury lawyer. I saw WAS because apparently Bedlam broke his brain and he no longer has a job.

I only saw these screenshots. He ended up erasing all his social media presence after he got fired.

I’m conflicted. I definitely cringed at the joke and we’ve all probably made similar jokes here but did the dude really deserve to get fired over it?

This is assuming I’m correct in thinking he was referencing the basketball team plane crash from 20 or so years ago and not something else I’m not getting.

Yeah, there were actually two crashes if I'm recalling right. One in 2001 and one in 2010 or 2011 or something

I was a little torn on it at first too, but ultimately came to the conclusion that's it's probably still raw and painful for a lot of people in OK and kind of a dick thing to tweet. Especially minutes after the team he supported lost.

As far as I know, he's going to have to build a whole new staff. Everything I've read has indicated not one person wants to follow him and leave ND.

This C-USA Championship is entertaining. Stupid amounts of offense. Expect to see plenty of offense in the PAC-12 Championship as well. But nothing like this.

Yeah, I mentioned in the Conference Champ game day thread that this is going to be a game of endurance. Whichever offense runs out of gas first.
